No respect or almost there??

[cyclonestans]

So here is my question. Are we not getting respect from good teams and they are not even preparing for us, or are we just a step away from winning some big games?

Besides the second game of the year we have been in dang near every game with, for the most part, a better than average chance to win.

yeah these teams are worried about a 1-7 team

 

[Cyclonepride]

The way I see it, we don't get a ton of respect most any year, so it has to be our attitude and game plan that are giving us a chance.

1 win teams are never "almost there".

Obviously not OU's best effort tonight but we are still competing so I don't care. No win was ever prefaced with; oh but the better team didn't really come prepared tonight.

If a person is a coach or member of a coaching staff in a power 5 conference [Actually any good coach at any level] you prepare, prepare again, and go over it again no matter what the records. In fact, A coach of a good team will worry as much or more when playing a team they are supposed to spank easily. To think otherwise is downright nutty!!!!!!

I think we're still two years from respectability. I watch at this point because I still like seeing them compete. ISU obviously has a lot of fans like this, to get a crowd like they had tonight for a Thursday game for a 1-6 team.

two years in a garbage bowl gets you respect? Its going to take a lot longer than you think buddy.

I don't know how close we are, but definitely on the right track. I like how aggressively we are playing.

So im delirious because we have played a tight game with 3 good opponents? Dont remember saying anything about how good i think we are or how good we will be. Pretty sure it was just a simple question but i guess i should have realized the debbie downers of CF would show up and throw ***** at every post and every person with a hint of optimism.

ISU sucks ass this year. Get over it dude.

It's almost worse to think of it that way. Oklahoma brings a half assed effort and still wins. Like they're playing their kid brother.

Ficklone02 disagrees, I guess he like 1-7 teams

Ignore swirly. Troll is looking for some food to go with his premium natural ice.

We get it, you hate ISU. Now go back to HawkeyeNation.
There are a handful of good Hawk posters on this site, you are not 1.

Kind of what I was thinking. This may be the worst OU team we have seen in a long time, yet can't win.

Lots of derp in here

do you want to see a screen shot of my gouche?

Is this like going to a bar and loudly asking everyone, "Wanna Fight?"

Mostly coming from you. We get it, you're mad.
